Introduction.
Welcome to the range of Nor-Ray-Vac ‘LR’
series continuous radiant tube heaters. The
Nor-Ray-Vac ‘LR’ series system complies with
the requirements of the European Gas
Appliance Directive BS EN777-4. Local
regulations may vary in the country of use and it
is the installers responsibility to ensure that
such regulations are satisfied.
All installation, assembly, commissioning and
service procedures must be carried out by
suitable qualified competent persons to the
statutory regulations in the country of use.
When assembling, installing, commissioning and
servicing is undertaken on radiant tube heaters
specified in these instructions, due care and
attention is required to ensure that working at
height regulations are adhered to at the
mounting heights specified.
PLEASE READ this document prior to
installation to familiarise yourself with the
components and tools you require at the various
stages of assembly.
All Dimensions shown are in mm unless
otherwise stated.
The manufacturer reserves the right to alter
specifications without prior notice.
The Ambi-Rad Nor-Ray-Vac ‘LR’ series direct
gas fired radiant heating system comprises of a
continuous system with a number of burners
located in series in a radiant branch, and a
number of radiant branches manifolded
together, linked by a tail pipe to a vacuum fan
discharging the spent products of combustion to
atmosphere. A system may comprise of just one
burner and one vacuum fan, to multiple burners
in multiple radiant branches with one or more
vacuum fans.
To enable exact matching of operational needs
within an area, distances between burners and
ratings of the burners can vary. The unique
feature of Nor-Ray-Vac ‘LR’ series is a radiant
system which provides uniform heat coverage of
the floor area, eliminating hot/cold spots.
The tube into which the burners are mounted
and over which the reflectors are fitted and
emits the maximum heat is called the radiant
tube. The radiant heat emitted from the hot tube
is directed downwards by reflectors. The
remaining interconnecting tube is called the tail
pipe and radiates with less intensity.
The operating temperatures of the tubes
generally range from 200°C – 480°C max.
The action of the vacuum fan is three fold; to
create a high negative pressure within the
radiant tube and tail pipe so as to discharge the
spent products of combustion from the system
to a point outside the building being heated; to
control the flow of gas and air through each
burner in stoichiometric proportions; to draw
carrier air into the tube system at the start of
each radiant branch, in order to distribute the
heat from the flame along the tube.
1. Installation Requirements.
Isolate any electrical supply to the
heater and controller before proceeding.
1.1 Health and Safety
AmbiRad heaters must be installed in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the
Gas Safety (Installations and Use) Regulations
1998.
Due account should also be taken of any
obligations arising from the Health and Safety
at Works Act 1974 or relevant codes of
practice. In addition the installation must be
carried out in accordance with the current IEE
wiring regulations (BS 7671), BS 6896:
(Industrial & Commercial) and any other
relevant British Standards and Codes of
Practice by a qualified installer. Isolate all
electrical supplies to the heater & controller
before proceeding.
For your own safety we recommend the use of
safety boots and leather faced gloves when
handling sharp or heavy items. The use of
protective eye wear is also recommended.
1.2 Burner Model Definitions
NRVxxLR-EV = Nor-Ray-Vac continuous
radiant tube heater only for use with branch end

The system is assembled at high level
suspended by chains from first fixings to
the roof structure.
(First fixings by others)
Page 4
1.3 Heater Suspension
1.3.1 First considerations
• Clearances from combustibles must be
maintained. (See figure 2)
• For ease of servicing there should be a
minimum clearance distance of 500mm
between the burners of the heating system
and the building wall. This measurement
can be reduced for perimeter type systems.
(See figure 1a).
• For ease of servicing and burner removal
minimum clearances should be maintained.
(See figure 1b and 1c). In exceptional
circumstances the burner lid may be slid
diagonally for removal thus reducing the
vertical distance.
• Ensure that the suspension is sufficiently
flexible to allow for thermal expansion.
1.3.2 Suspending the heater - General
1.3.2.1 The first support is always positioned at
the support lug suspension point on the end
vent burner combustion chamber.
1.3.2.2 Subsequent supports are placed
approximately 2.8m apart, including one at each
combustion chamber location. This gives a
maximum load per support of 24kg.
1.3.2.3 A support must always be located at a
maximum distance of 2m from a tee or elbow
fitting.
1.3.2.4 Except for the combustion chamber
support lug suspension points, suspension
support brackets are installed to support the
tube section which is then covered with
reflectors.
1.3.2.5 Tail pipe hangers are installed for the
tube section which will be without reflectors.
If there are any doubts as to the strength or
suitability of roof steelwork to which heaters are
to be suspended, please refer to a Consultant,
Architect or owner of the building.

1.5 Gas Connection and Supply
Before installation, check that the
local distribution conditions, nature of
gas and pressure, and adjustment of
the appliance are compatible.
A competent or qualified engineer is required to
either install a new gas meter to the service
pipe or to check that the existing meter is
adequate to deal with the rate of gas supply
required.
Installation pipes should be fitted in accordance
with BS 6896, so that the supply pressure, as
stated in Table 3 will be achieved. It is the
responsibility of the competent engineer to
ensure that other relevant Standards and
Codes of Practice are complied with in the
country of installation.
Pipes of smaller size than the heater inlet gas
connection must not be used. The complete
installation must be tested for soundness as
described in the country of installation.
The gas union service cock MUST be
fitted in the gas supply close to the
heater, but not onto the burner itself.
Take care when making a gas connection
to the heater not to apply excessive turning
force to the internal controls.
A flexible hose is installed to allow safe linear
expansion to each burner without creating
undue stress on the gas supply pipe work. It is
therefore important that a tested and certified
hose assembly made to ISO 10380, supplied
with ½” BSP female cone seat adapters, is
installed as per these instructions.
It is also important to ensure that expansion is
taken up in the body of the flexible hose, and
not on its attachment to the pipe work.
The cone seat adapter supplied on one end of
the flexible gas hose provides a `swivel` action,
and must be fitted on the burner using a ½”
BSP barrel nipple to provide ease of
disconnection for future servicing.
The installation layout described below is
the only method recommended by the
institute of gas engineers, the hose
manufacturer, and AmbiRad and must only be
carried out by a qualified/competent gas
engineer.

Depending on the specific installation, the
flexible gas hose may be routed to the gas
cock at any of the following angles in relation to
the burner:
Any other position in between these angles is
acceptable.
Care must be taken to observe the minimum
pipe bend diameter (minimum 250mm,
maximum 350mm) & pipe expansion distance
(minimum 30mm, maximum 70mm) as shown
in fig.e.
Maximum bend diameter for the hose is
450mm.
The correct installation as shown will allow
for approx 100mm of movement due to
expansion.

1.7 Ventilation Requirements
Nor-Ray-Vac heaters are installed as flued
appliances in accordance with the relevant
national requirements i n the country of
installation.
In buildings having an air change rate of less
than 0.5 per hour, additional ventilation is
required. For detailed information, please see
BS6896 section 5.2.2.2.1
Natural Ventilation
Low level ventilation openings with a free area
of at least 2cm²/kW shall be provided. See
BS6896 section 5.2.2.2.2.1.
1.8 Exhaust and Air Inlet - Options
1.8.1 Horizontal discharge
1.8.2 Vertical discharge
19
Considerations.
The vacuum fan must be located as
shown in the layout drawing.
The vacuum fan must have a bottom
horizontal discharge.
The fan should be fitted to the mounting
platform which is fixed to the wall or
building structure. Alternatively, the fan
can be suspended from the roof
structure, via drop rods (not supplied) and
mounted on base frame. (Anti-vibration
mountings are fitted between the fan and
the mounting platform/base frame.
For full details of parts and installation,
please refer to section 2.9.3

Burner Combustion
Chamber
Combustion chambers are
2.6m in length and increase in
diameter to 127mm (5”) around the
burner turret.
All tubing, combustion chambers, dampers and
tube fittings are connected by ‘wrap-around’
stainless steel couplers which clamp by means
of two high tensile stainless steel set pins. (See
section 2.2.2)
26
Page 27
2.2.2 Couplers
The Nor-Ray-Vac Tube Coupler is a screw
tightening, self aligning - positive located tubular
coupler. Manufactured in a non–corrosive
stainless steel it is available in both 100mm (4”)
and 150mm (6”).
Two high tensile stainless steel set pins tighten
to clamp the coupler onto the tube whilst a rivet
provides a centralised permanent stop to give
the joint equidistance.
The following procedure explains the correct
method of assembly:
Before assembly, carefully loosen the two
screws. Position the coupler onto the first tube
ensuring that the bars are positioned uppermost.
Slide the second tube into the coupler ensuring
that the rivet stop has butted up to the tube end.
Using the 6mm allen key, tighten the second
pin. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Slide the coupler over the tube ensuring that the
rivet stop has butted up to the tube end.
Using a 6mm allen key, tighten the relevant pin.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Moving between the two set pins, tighten both
ensuring that equal pressure is applied to each
set pin in turn.
If all steps have been followed correctly, the
coupler should have aligned itself parallel to the
two tubes and a slight indentation can be
observed. Using the 6mm allen key, finally
tighten each screw by a further quarter turn. If a
power tool is used, use a torque limit setting of
6.6 lbf/ft (0.91kgf/m) must be achieved.

2.2.3 Reflectors
The radiant tube sections of the system are
fitted with reflectors made of either stainless
steel or aludip to direct infra-red rays
downwards.
The reflectors have a unique design profile to
maximise the reflected radiant heat, minimise
convective loss, and maximise on rigidity.
The reflectors are overlapped and held in
position by the reflector bracket assembly.
2.2.3.3 Corner Reflectors
Used where radiant tubes are joined with a 90°
bend. The corner reflector comes in two pieces
and is assembled on-site.
Corner Reflector
There are two styles of reflectors:
2.2.3.1 Standard Reflectors
These 2.4m long reflectors are positioned above
the tube to radiate the heat downwards and are
fixed to the radiant tube via a reflector bracket
(see section 2.5). The combustion chamber
reflector has a rectangular hole and slot, pre cut
to allow for burner combustion chamber and
support lug fitting.
2.2.3.4 Tee piece Reflectors
Used where a radiant tube connects to another
at right angles. The reflector is a special short
section with a central tube cut out.
Tee section
Combustion Chamber
Reflector
2.2.3.2 Perimeter Reflectors
Perimeter reflectors are used when the radiant
tube is mounted at the perimeter of the building.
They have the same profile as standard
reflectors but extended one side to direct the
radiant heat away from the wall.
The perimeter combustion chamber reflectors
have a cut-out for the combustion chamber
turret and suspension lug at both ends so that
the one reflector can be used for either left or
right hand perimeter systems.
2.2.4 Brackets
There are two styles of brackets:
2.2.4.1 Suspension brackets.
Suspension brackets are made from a one
piece construction and are formed to support
the tube and reflector alike. The wrap around
ends are aligned to hold a turnbuckle eyelet in
the correct hanging position.
Note: when overlapping the perimeter
combustion chamber reflector, extra
overlap is required to cover the pre-cut
holes and slot.

2.2.4.2 Reflector Support Bracket
Reflector Support Brackets are a two piece
construction. The first half is formed to seat on
top of the radiant tube and supports the reflector
sides in position. The second part clamps
around the bottom half of the tube and is fixed in
position via a fastener.
Fit the reflector bracket (B) around the
tube and tighten the set pin (D) to clamp the
central clip (C) to the tube.
The set pins (A) positioned at both edges of the

2.2.5 Burner
2.2.5.1 LR Burner Unit
Each burner will consist of:
The ignition and flame
sensing electrode
assembly is mounted to
the casting flange of the
burner face.
2.2.6 End Vent Module (EVM)
At the start of each radiant branch an end vent
module is connected to the rear of the first
combustion chamber. The end vent module
externally maintains the lines of the reflector
profile.
A burner control housing (BCH) of chassis style
with detachable pivoting lid. All control wiring to
the burner head is within the BCH, which also
contains a combination gas valve comprising of
2 class 2 solenoid valves, dedicated zero
governor and filter, a full sequence controller
and cassette air filter for primary air supply to
the burner. Externally on the BCH, neon lights
indicate mains on and burner on modes.
The air and gas are pre-mixed to stoichiometric
proportions within the burner head assembly,
prior to being admitte d to the point of
combustion.
Ignition is by an electric arc forward of the face
of the burner head on to the main frame.
To comply with European standards that state
air flow must be proven in each radiant branch,
the end vent burner incorporates an air pressure
switch. The end vent module incorporates the
flow sensing pipework carrier air orifice plate
and optional silencer box to reduce noise levels.
2.2.7 Vacuum fans
A low noise robust steel plate fabricated
centrifugal fan coated with heat and corrosion
resistant paint, capable of a static pressure of
either 29 mbar or 45 mbar at 20°C and directly
coupled to a totally enclosed motor to be fitted
at the end of the tube system.
The fan exhausts the products of combustion

In the event there are more than four burners in the radiant branch,
set the dip-switches as below. 5 burners in a single branch:
Burner 1 - dip-switch 1
Burner 2 - dip-switch 1
Burner 3 - dip-switch 2
Burner 4 - dip-switch 3
Burner 5 - dip-switch 4
Each burner is fitted with an adjustable burner delay timer. The timer is adjusted using
dip-switches located on top of the timer casing. The dip-switches are labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4. These numbers correspond to the burner
positions within the radiant branch. The burner located nearest to the exhaust fan in that branch is noted as Burner 1, this
is the case irrespective of how many other burners are in that branch.
The burner directly behind burner 1 is always noted as Burner 2, the burner
directly behind Burner 2 is Burner 3 and so on finishing at the End Vent
Burner. Set the burner timer dip-switch.

have illuminated on the rear of each burner.
3.4 B80/B160 and B300 fans ONLY
The use of an inverter on the standard B80,
B160, B300 fan system allows the end vent
suction to be adjusted by varying the low speed
setting of the inverter within the local relay unit.
3.4.1 Ensure that electrical supply to the end
vent modules and burners in each branch are
connected.
3.4.2 Check that the fan and branch dampers
are fully open and secure.
3.4.3 Ensure the controller is in a programmed
ON function and above the actual room
temperature.
3.4.4 After a 30s delay the fan should run and
the inverter should be showing the motor
frequency in the display.
3.4.12 Working at the radiant branch
FURTHEST AWAY from the fan, observe the
ignition of the burners. An amber neon should
illuminate on the rear of the burner.
3.4.13 If the dip-switches have been set
correctly, the burner closest to the manifold (last
on branch) should ignite first followed in order
by every burner towards the end vent burner.
Note: It may be necessary to temporarily break
the union at a burner in order to purge the gas
pipe of air.
When the branch has been running for 30
minutes check the end vent vacuum reading.

End vent vacuum settings are made firstly by
means of adjusting the damper at the vacuum
fan inlet, this brings the end vent with the lowest
reading to the normal operating vacuum.
The dampers on each branch can then be
adjusted to bring the vacuum readings in other
branches to the normal operating figure.
Ensure that all dampers are locked securely
after adjustment.
3.5.1 Ensure that each burner is electrically
disconnected at the end vent module plug/

each burner.
2. Switch on electrical supply to heaters.
3. Ensure that the controls are correctly set
i.e.;
• Clock is correctly set.
• Heater program is correctly set.
• Required room temp is correctly set
4. The vacuum fan will operate and at the
same time the red neon lights will
illuminate at all burners. After 10 seconds
the burners closest to the exhaust fan in
each radiant branch will light, with both red
and amber neons illuminated. After a
further 25 seconds the next burner in line
within each radiant branch will light and
after a further 25 seconds the end vent
burner will light.
5 If the lighting up sequence fails and lockout
occurs press the lockout reset button (if
available), or switch off the electrical
supply and restart after 40 seconds. If
lockout occurs three times consecutively
switch off and isolate the gas and
electricity supplies.
Contact the AmbiRad Service department.
8.2. To Switch Off Heater
1. Switch off electrical supply to the heater.
The burner will stop and the fan will shut
off.
2. If the heater is to be switched off for
periods in excess of one week it is highly
recommended that both the gas and the
electrical supplies are turned off.
8.3. Routine Maintenance between Service
Intervals
After ensuring that the heater is cold and
mains electric isolated, cleaning of the
reflectors with a soft cloth and a mild
detergent (non solvent based cleaners only)
in water can be undertaken.
Additional removal of dust from the radiant
tubes, burner and heat exchanger can be
undertaken.
8.4 Frequency of Servicing
The manufacturer recommends that to
ensure continued efficient and safe
operation of the appliance, the heater is
serviced annually by a competent person
e.g. every year in normal working conditions
